People always wanting to go to a bunch of extractors is why I dislike the game mode and why I do all the Extractions that a lack of cryotic forces me to do completely solo (by the power of Limbo). With rewards not actually scaling it always seemed kind of unnecessary effort to go to like 20 extractors when doing a couple runs of 4 or 8 ends up the same way with less chance of higher level enemies glancing at the extractor and it exploding and less of the thoroughly silly armor scaling high level enemies have in this game coming into play.
I see where you are coming from but at least on console every mission restart is probably 3 minutes minimum, from standing at extraction to loading back into the mission and getting started. Once you hit a certain power level the enemies are not dangerous until the 8 or 12th wave at least anyways. Plus if you are there to maximize your cryo gains you need to be split pushing extractors so you can knock out 2, sometimes 3, at the same time. Plus you need a fucking massive amount of cryo for everything in this game. Sibear alone is 30k. Personally I don't see the point of going to Heiracon unless you want to really push for cryotic, affinity for gear or focus/rep, and relics. If you don't need all 3 go to an easier or more efficient map for whatever it is you need.
sibear specifically takes a ridonkulous amount of cryo to the point it might be worth it to just buy it with plat if you absolutely must get the mastery points for it

See, I personally tend to fall on the camp that making the Sibear is kind of dumb anyway :P.
But yeah, I'm on PC, and for me changing missions is fairly fast, in addition to meaning that there is less stuff lost if I need to leave (I live in a house with my family, five people in total. I always have to keep in mind the possibility that I might need to cold-abort and leave at any point) so all in all it's just a better idea to run short rotations.
After I finish leveling him, the next 'frames I have ready to play with are Frost, Harrow, and Revenant (as in, they're all built, just need to take them out of the Foundry). In what order should I try 'em out?
*edit* Also, I decided to level Nehza by doing Relics today, and finally got enough trash Prime parts to get enough Ducats to forge Parcesis. Wheee.

Frost when you want to do defenses (static, mobile, interceptions). Revenant for anything. Harrow... I dunno, still trying to figure out if I want (to buy) him or not.

Nah, just run Hieracon for credits and endo and relics and xp from time to time.

I got a 75% market coupon (why is it only on one singular item?) and agonized for days about what to use it on. I didn't know that even if you have these coupons that not every item in the shop applies. Only the ones that are specifically marked. Also, it didn't seem like it allowed me to purchase multiple of the same items (like say I wanted to get 4 Eximus adapters for the price of one or something) ... I wish they would allow that but I understand why they don't. I think I wasted a 50% coupon before because I just didn't see anything that was worth the price of admission.
However ... this time they had one single Warframe (not bundle mind you) that the coupon applied to so now I am the owner of a Revenant Frame. Is there anything I should know about him (other than reading the Wiki) ... I mean what is he 'good' at?

I AM NOW MAX FUCKING RANK WITH THE OSTRONS
I'm very disappointed that it doesn't come with LORE like apparently the Solaris do? BUT I CAN GET THE RARE FEEESH AND THUS THE MATS TO MAKE NICE THINGS FOR MY SPOILER
I feel like i would have farmed fortuna rep a little more diligently if i had known that completing your first heist lets you use arcguns on the ground. Now that i learned this yesterday, im playing catch-up. I guess also i want the stuff to make the submachine gun style kitgun, and need max rank for that too. Unfortunately my kitgun riven was for catchmoon and not the one i want to make. I have no interest in another shotgun, especially because i just finished throwing forma at my mara detron. Though i do still need a jolt for it but dont want to pay 120p for one.
The alert this weekend put a tombfinger riven in my arsenal.
Enemies are falling over dead while I'm still on the load screen. It hardly seems fair.
It took a few rolls to get some bonuses I could live with. I still may need another though as I'm not sure punch through has full effect on it given the explosive.

I'm salty because my GotL riven was for gaze, which was of course the riven I already had. I would have gladly taken anything else but that. Tombfinger or catchmoon would have been ideal though.
I did get a Catchmoon riven but the market seems currently saturated. More people with Catchmoon rivens than people who want to use a Catchmoon. Sad, that, I was hoping for it to buy me some stuff.

Punchthrough is awful for it. The explosion only procs on the last guy who gets hit.

I was getting that impression as well. I'm out of kuva though so for now it stays.
Wouldn't it be quicker and easier to just do 8 and reset?
Also the only piece that I'm missing. Once I got the hang of the Kuva Fortress spy missions, it went quick. Got some new mods out of it as well.
I've just been doing it with Trinity, neither I nor the dudes can die and I don't have trouble clearing Parasitic Eximus in a timely manner until they start approaching level 100 so I don't really need to reset.
my worst farm was ivara, and probably the one i should have just purchased because of all the frames i have, she is by far the most worth the money.
when ivara prime is released i'll probably buy the big-girl bundle for her. unless the extras are garbage like they were for mesa. then i would be sad.
i've not tried the harrow thing yet, just because from what little i've seen of it the playstyle is kinda meh to me. nidus looked fun so i just bought him instead of doing his whole thing. mesa i got incredibly lucky and got all her bits in an afternoon. khora was probably the second worst, but that one taught me to just do a run or two of that mission a day and not to focus on the grind, or it would kill my interest in the game.
I remember getting all the parts for Octavia on the first day.
Quite a feat, because there was a bug introduced that patch where the rewards you were told you would get for Derelict Survival weren't the ones you actually got.
But I did, though I don't know if it was because it only affected group play while I soloed, or I was just lucky enough to roll her again.

I think you're thinking of Nidus farm. I actually got really lucky with Nidus and finished in like 7 runs.
I've just been doing it with Trinity, neither I nor the dudes can die and I don't have trouble clearing Parasitic Eximus in a timely manner until they start approaching level 100 so I don't really need to reset.

That's not a figure of speech btw.
I have a screenshot I took of my foundary where I have 7 of the 8 pieces needed, with only 1 duplicate.
Unfortunately it took another dozen or so runs before the last piece dropped so that screenshot doesn't look as impressive.

I just wait for the prime, where it's usually like 100p or so after the initial gold rush is over
